Such a classic!Sadly, this year I didn't hear it at any of the *right* times, for me.

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

Mine is going to be a weird nomination backed by a weirder story. During Friday night white out, we were walking around lost. Our visibility was next to nill. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I heard Beethoven... *pause* ...for about a minute (9th symphony, second movement). I screamed in utter, irrepressible joy! Till this day, I can't tell if this really happened or if it was part of my imagination (after all, we had just gotten done talking about underworld jello people).

This came on as I was finishing my run today. Made me think of the playa.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled ongoing series of distractions to alert you to important upgrades and changes in how video embeds work. Now instead of having separate [youtube] and [vimeo] tags that you have to format a certain way, we've got one [video] tag that's able to figure out the video link (and it also supports Ustream). I'm also taking this time to rename the thread, since we're no longer limited to movies on youtube. Vimeo, DailyMotions, and Ustream are also supported.

Tamarakay, pretty song. I think I'd heard that somewhere but I didn't know what it was.

I love having songs with "Home" in the title on my driving playlist even though I don't refer to BRC as "home" (occasionally my "home planet" or "hometown", though). Funny how the little difference in semantics makes me feel (slightly) less hokey.

The Nevada State SongHome Means Nevadawords and music by Mrs. Bertha Raffetto (1885-1952)

Way out in the land of the setting sun, Where the wind blows wild and free, There's a lovely spot, just the only one That means home sweet home to me. If you follow the old Kit Carsen trail, Until desert meet the hills, Oh you certainly will agree with me, It's the place of a thousand thrills.

CHORUS: Home means Nevada, Home means the hills, Home means the sage and the pines. Out by the Truckee's silvery rills. Out where the sun always shines. There is a land that l love the best, Fairer than all I can see. Right in the heart of the golden west, Home means Nevada to me.

Whenever the sun at the close of day Colors all the western sky, Oh, my heart returns to the desert grey And the mountains tow'ring high. Where the moon beams play in shadowed glen With the spotted fawn and doe All the lifelong night until morning light Is the loveliest place I know.

CHORUS: Home means Nevada, Home means the hills, Home means the sage and the pines. Out by the Truckee's silvery rills. Out where the sun always shines. There is a land that l love the best, Fairer than all I can see. Right in the heart of the golden west, Home means Nevada to me.

I think it'd be cool if the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) would give a nicknme to SR447: "The Burning Man Highway." Similar to what was done with SR375 "The Extraterrestial Highway."

My cats are cuter than your grandkids!"We in Arizona (and the rest of the United States) have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act.""Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem."
